Lol at Jeff's offhand comment/anecdote about how he got bored one weekend and swapped all the labels on his Atari 800 games so he could be surprised whenever he plugged in a game.

The thought of Giant Bomb continuing without ANY of the guys who founded it- or even just anyone who was there in the 00s at all- is really weird to me. Best of luck to Jeff though

The statement on the site reads like he got forced out or otherwise let go. “Agreed to part ways” and he doesn’t get a farewell cast or anything, and they’re already parroting the line about how change is actually great.

I dunno, I probably wouldn’t feel too good about it if I were still at Red Venture’s Giant Bomb.

I have no doubt that Jeff has only been there this long because he was under contract and left the very second it ended.

I’m guessing this is the big new opportunity Devin Faraci was tweeting about. Cautiously stoked to see what the next phase of the site, and the crew, looks like.
